michaelgene1 Beautifully textured and emotionally evocative. This is the essence of haunting Americana at it's best. Can't wait to hear more! Favorite track: Fire In the Hole.

Angelina 03:38
Angelina Broken Claw - Tell me what your Brother Saw Were you with him ....did you see it too Did you hear the shooting guns? Were you scared, did you run Can you tell me, Where's your Brother now? 1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast came and carried him away Now he rides the trail of sorrow, in a land with no tomorrow in a camp on the other side of the sun Angelina Broken Claw, Tell me 'bout your Ma and Pa Did you see them Standing in the fire Did anybody say a prayer? Does anybody even care Does anybody wonder where you are? 1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast came and carried them away Now they rides the trail of sorrow, in a land with no tomorrow in the camp beyond the sun 1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast they're here to carry you away Angelina Broken Dream, rides beside the silver stream and follows the setting sun

ADDICTION 03:43
When the Winter comes and the Sun goes down And my old friends come back around We got this shotgun shack feeling like a Tomb With 40 watt bulbs and empty rooms Late at night when I'm all along Staring out into the Twilight Zone I can see you cryin' in your wedding dress Your hair like fire and your face a mess And what goes around Comes Around...and goes around again And i turn around and follow you down Hangin around ...again There's a paradox in every paradigm I thought I needed more money but i needed less time I was a spaceship looking for a place to land Like a drop of dew on the desert sand And what goes around Comes Around...and goes around again And i turn around and follow you down Hangin around ...again With Battle cries and Lullabies On these broken wings I can barely fly I tried to circle my wagon like I've done before But I would up knocking on your back door And what goes around Comes Around...and goes around again And i turn around and follow you down Hangin around ...again

Here I am awake again before the light Feeling very different but nothing has changed The silence of a sleeping world pours over me As I listen to the sound of a bird that doen't sing For 20 nights a whippoorwill has sung for me Calling to the echoes in my heart Stopped my sleep from stealing all my precious time Tonight the air is full of the song she doesn’t sing I hope that she has found what she was looking for I know her dreams were wrapped up in her song I wish that she could sing me of her happiness Tonight my mind is full of the song she doesn’t sing for me

Palaver 03:10
LYRICS Old man Pitcher lost the farm and they chopped down all the trees Building house in a row just as pretty as you please I hear they built a slaughter house Where the church house used to be It won't too awful long ago the nations lived out herr My people fenced the land and they all disappeared Now they're exiles in the promised land Outlaws on a trail of tears Last night the Coyotes came and sang my goodbye song i got out in the moonlight and tried to sing along We left our marks on the mayors car In the morning we were gone The politicians and the bankers are calling all the shots With greedy eyes and twisted minds they want what they ain't got They come 'round here with papers Tryin' to steal the things that can't be bought The mornin' sun on the mountain snow Can make you loose your eyes The glitter of a rich man's gold can make you loose your mind All the things i thought i'd have forever, i have to leave behind
